Domestic Building Surveys

This book is a guidebook on how to undertake a domestic building survey. It covers the practical aspects of surveying with a full description of the author's own experience. At the same time, it draws out the important principles involved. This book is intended for the serious student, but it may be of use to the prospective home owner who could, with a little knowledge, do his own pre-survey and save wasting money on properties that are obviously highly likely to be unsuitable. When a suitable property has been found, the experienced surveyor can be called in.
